Happy December to everyone, but especially those of us who spent the last month grinding for NaNoWriMo. I may not have won this year, but writing an hour each night after the toddler went to bed and drafting ~22,000 words still feels awesome. Now for some self-care! #AmWriting

Congratulations!!! I can’t wait to see this story in print. ❤️

@RoseRosetree Thank you!

[Kyra Dusk @DuskKyra]

@avramargariti Yeah! It’s one of the last pieces I workshopped there before life got too hectic for me to justify my paid account.

My publishing pursuits have clambered into the figurative backseat while I focus on my 2nd master’s degree, so this caught me my surprise: my steampunk mermaid story 🐬 was published in our school magazine! Click here to check it out.

@avramargariti Thanks! This is actually from last year, but I noticed the old link had stopped working.

@DiannaLGunn @NaNoWriMo Fair point. I may be an odd duck, though, because I treat NaNo as one of my winter holidays. October: the month of Halloween. December: Yule and Christmas decorations all month. And between them, the month of “yay I get to prioritize writing every day!” (My husband is not a fan).

My final word count for #NaNoWriMo is just over 35,000. I didn’t hit 50,000 this year, but I’m proud of what I accomplished while on maternity leave caring for my infant muse. One day I only managed 160 words, but I did write every single day. 😁

@scottiswriting @NaNoWriMo Plus, participating in NaNo with writers around the world is always great fun. 🤩

[Kyra Dusk @DuskKyra]

@scottiswriting @NaNoWriMo True!

[Kyra Dusk @DuskKyra]

@avramargariti That is so exciting! Good luck!!!

[Kyra Dusk @DuskKyra]

@avramargariti Sounds good! 😁

Today this fierce little girl is 1 month old, and over the weekend I submitted my first story to a magazine in over a year. I think it’s going to be a good week!

[Kyra Dusk @DuskKyra]

@avramargariti Thank you! I’ve missed catching up with you over Scribophile. What is your most comfortable avenue for conversation?

[Kyra Dusk @DuskKyra]

@avramargariti Thank you! I know I haven’t been very active lately between my library degree and the baby, but I love seeing all of your publication posts. The world needs all of your amazing writing. ❤️

@timstubinski This will give away my age, but in middle school my AIM profile animation reflected a similar sentiment. It was a butterfly that flew away before the second D of ADD.

Happy 1st day of @NaNoWriMo! 🎉I’m not sure how much writing I’ll accomplish during maternity leave, but I’m excited to dive in.

If you’re participating, don’t forget to check out the “offers” under Writer’s Resources. 15 free days of 4theWords is just the treat I needed! 🤩
